Punch crew!!

 

[Stevo]

Punch crew was awesome back in the day, but by the time I actually moved to Edmonton they were mostly inactive. Except Mike, he was really good for a long time.

 

[x After Dawn x]

mike was still coming to tourneys up until about a year and a half ago. then he kinda just disappeared

[Stevo]

no. it can't be true. something entertaining in brawl

lol that was funny though.


and I know what you mean Tyson. That's why i want to play some serious matches with Carl, so it can spark my inner smash power again. Sometimes you gotta sink a bit before you can swin again.









































I'm totally gonna win White Marth, though

 

[Tyson651]

I wanna see this white marth battle

 

[Stevo]

like a saiyan I just need to recover from a mortal wound in order to increase my power level.

[x After Dawn x]

[Tyson651]

Question of the Day

who the **** decided it was a good idea to flip the numbers on the numpad vs the keypad on a telephone?

 

[Dezmu]

Hey people, this is an idea I was thinking on in the past few days. Hear me out on this,
for the last Star Craft tournament "Little Big" they seeded players by their online rank
and placed people at a certain level in a round robin pool while the lower ranked players got put in there own.

The best possible players would be matches with the lower ranked possible players as partners (for us in marvel this would be like Jack luke and Dan being teamed with people who go 0-2 in tournaments). Their wins/losses would coincide with each other.

I thought it was a ****ing stupid idea and wouldn't work, but it actually worked out better than the normal tournament format. The casuals players would get input and coaching from the better players, because they don't want to lose.

More "new" players got involved in the "community" aspect of Starcraft 2 instead of the competitive aspect. So whether or not they want to become competitive or whatever, the scene as a whole got more notice

Another thing I've seen with them is with streaming, they get together at Over klocked gaming and watch the stream and play at the lan center during the stream. They meet up weekly to form a Edmonton team and train those players up.

All that combined tells you something.... They are doing more as a community to progress things and to appeal to their casual players than the regular tournaments. That's what you gotta do smart imo. Work from the ground up, with the people first.

When you hear the word "Tournament" you think of competitive players and a really hard challenge. If you play games seriously then this is fine for you, but if you are turned off by the idea or don't feel your good enough then your not going to even bother going.

This is just what I seen in the SC2 community and thought I'd share it here, maybe we can use some of what is being done there to make the fighting game community that much stronger.

 

[Crusayer]

Might as well post that on the RPS thread cuz no one plays melee anymore apparently \o/.

DUDE I WAS JUST THINKING THAT AT WORK YESTERDAY

I remember phone numbers and numerical entries by the pattern they make, and then when I have to enter them on the computer and get really confused.

yea I know what you mean.

and working for the bank I type a lot of numbers and call people, so it is very annoying.

 

[Stevo]

I really gotta get rid of 90% of the people on my facebook.

Some of the people make the most rage inducing status updates.

like "Gotta hot date tonight"

THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE

AT WHAT POINT DID GOTTA START MEANING "GOT A"




someone host smash or something
